As a Farcaster investor, can confirm: money is coming back to investors.
Dan and the team built something genuinely amazing, perhaps the best decentralized social protocol. He's independently wealthy from Coinbase, and could have done whatever he wanted, but he decided to spend many years grinding on Internet freedom and decentralization.
For that I salute him.

Given some rumors, wanted to post a few clarifications:
Farcaster is not shutting down. The protocol works and will continue to work. There were 250,000 MAU in December and over 100,000 funded wallets. The acquirer, Neynar, is a venture-backed startup and plans to shift

作为 Farcaster 的投资者，我可以证实：资金正在回流到投资者手中。
丹和他的团队打造了真正令人惊叹的产品，或许是最好的Decentralized Social协议。他凭借 Coinbase 积累了巨额财富，完全可以随心所欲，但他却选择投入多年时间，致力于互联网自由和去中心化。
为此我向他致敬。

比特币上周价格一度触及 6 万美元。在收益递减模型下，这绝不是简单的噪音。市场正在触碰整个四年周期与对数增长框架中最脆弱的环节。
当比特币周期顶部的涨幅已被大幅压缩，如果再出现历史级别的深度回调，其经典周期的吸引力将彻底失效。
这不是预测，这是数学规律。
周期顶部涨幅正在压缩
比特币各周期历史顶部：
· 2013 年：~1,242 美元
· 2017 年：~19,700 美元
· 2021 年：~...

5.5万美元，将是比特币的生死线

随著 FinChain 合作加速推进，将传统资产大规模上链，亚洲机构对代币化金融的需求正在加速成长。

FinChain Avalanche 的合作旨在推动亚洲 RWA 代币化和机构流动性。

Also, protocols sometimes take a bit longer to cook than the lifespan of companies. The handover to Neynar (one of the first Farcaster indexers) may help make Farcaster a truly decentralized social protocol.
The tech is real, and it works. It just needs a killer app. Still worth iterating on, with people who'll run the next leg of the relay race. My congratulations to Dan, Varun, and the team for running that first critical leg so well for 5+ years.

此外，协议的制定有时需要比公司寿命更长的时间。将协议移交给 Neynar（最早的 Farcaster 索引器之一）可能有助于将 Farcaster 打造成一个真正Decentralized Social协议。
技术是真实存在的，而且行之有效。它只需要一款杀手级应用。仍然值得继续迭代，与那些将接力跑下一棒的人一起努力。祝贺丹、瓦伦和他们的团队，五年来他们出色地完成了这至关重要的第一棒。

Decentralized social is cool, but when does it stop being a niche experiment and start eating Web2?

Decentralized Social很酷，但它何时才能不再只是小众实验，而是开始取代 Web2 呢？
